The Excluded Windows pane contains the following functional areas:

  • Target Window pane containing the information related to the item selected in the list.

The Excluded Windows toolbar allows you to:

  • Delete Excluded Windows rule - deletes the item selected in the Excluded Windows list.
  • Copy Excluded Windows rule - adds a new item that is an exact copy of the selected item of the Excluded Windows list.
  • Move Up - changes the position of the selected item in the list (it is placed one step upper than before).
  • Move Down - places the selected item one step lower than before.
  • Sort Ascending - sorts the Excluded Windows list in ascending alphabetical order of their names.
  • Sort Descending - sorts the Excluded Windows list in descending alphabetical order of their names.
  • Enable All - enables all Excluded Windows items.
  • Disable All - disables all Excluded Windows items.

In the Excluded Windows list each item represents a particular Excluded Windows rule. The list consists of the four columns:

  • Name - shows the Excluded Windows rule name
  • Window Class - shows the string value provided for the Window Class criterion of rule's Target Window criteria set
  • Caption - shows the string value provided for the Window Caption criterion of rule's Target Window criteria set
  • Program - shows the string value provided for the Program criterion of rule's Target Window criteria set

Also, every item in this list has a checkbox on the left of its name. You can mark/unmark this checkbox to enable/disable a particular rule.

Upon selecting the desired item, the Target Window pane will show its Target Window criteria values so you can alter them. You can select an item by:

  • left- or right-click its name
  • use the cursor keys
  • typing a few first letters of its name to jump to it quickly

Also you can use the Excluded Windows pane to re-position a particular Excluded Windows rule by dragging it with a mouse:

  • left-click the desired item and hold the left mouse button
  • without releasing the button, move the mouse to the desired new position
  • release the left mouse button
